Question : Can't open design view for query - get " is not a valid name error

I have a user who cannot open design view for query - he gets [" is not a valid name] error

This is an Access 2000 db in Access 2007.  I tried to upgrade to 2003 and 2007 and there is no change.  I did a compact and repair as well as a decompile - neither remedied the situation.

Not being able to open in design view is a problem only for 2 queries and there doesn't seem to be anything unique with those queries versus others.

Thanks
David

Answer : Can't open design view for query - get " is not a valid name error

i'll suggest again, if you want, you can create a stripped copy of the mdb, (can be with local tables instead of linked ones, or even as 2 seperate mdb's to keep the linkage structure)  with only tiny bit of data in the relevant tables, and post it so i (and possibly other experts) can have a look and try to figure out the error
